Yes, it sounds funny to sit down and color words like “shit” or “damn” and feel good about yourself, but coloring swear and dirty words offer the ability to channel your inner artist into a calming therapy that helps you feel rejuvenated after coloring the words you really want to say out loud.

Bringing Two Stress Relievers Together

You might still seem dumbfounded; what good does it do to color swear words? If you think about it, swearing makes you feel better sometimes, right? Just getting the words out there, like “Hey dickhead!” or “Dumbass!” while you are driving makes you feel superior, doesn’t it? At least it helps for a few minutes until the next person tries to cut you off. When you get home, though, you are probably stressed, tense, and ready to yell some more. Rather than walking around the house swearing at everyone around you, take a few minutes to sit down and color.

When you put the two stress relieving activities of swearing and adult coloring together, you enhance the results of what is supposed to help you unwind and relax for the day.

The Perfect Coloring Book for the Less than Calm

Let’s face it, if you are the swearing type, chances are you are not the type to sit down and calming color hearts and flowers or if you do, it leaves you swearing even more, right? What if you could have the benefit of both pretty patterns and swear words together? You get the best of both worlds; you can get the words you want to say the most off of your chest, while you participate in the mindfulness of adult coloring. It’s a win-win for everyone. You get to relieve some stress in a productive way without having to act like you are prim and proper. This way nobody’s feelings get hurt, but you are still able to get your feelings out, enhancing your mood at the same time.

Don’t be ashamed if you find pleasure in coloring swear words; in fact, you should be proud that you found an outlet for your stress that did not cost you the $100 an hour that a therapist would cost or that you did not have to put yourself on medication. Adult coloring is a great outlet for your moods, creativity, and focus, so cut yourself some slack and purchase your copy of ‘Swear Word – Dirty Word Adult Coloring Book’ today!

Whether you are a busy mom running from activity to activity in between keeping up the house and feeding everyone or you are an important business person with hundreds of employees to manage and a company to run, the stress you feel is real. The problem is that these negative feelings we all experience are very bad for our health. Doctors tell us to find a way to de-stress, relax, unwind, and get some sleep, but they never have the magic answer as to how that should happen. While I don’t have the magic answer, per se, I do have a solution that works for many people – take it back to the basics and color!

Yes, I said color. You need to sit down with your favorite colored pencils (is there anything better than brand new box of beautiful colored pencils?) and color. The Animal Mandala Coloring Book contains numerous animals with intricate designs that will take your entire concentration. What does that mean for you? It means that fight with your mom, that important business decision you have to make, or the long list of chores waiting to be done will not be at the forefront of your mind. In fact, they will probably not be anywhere in your mind because you will be so immersed in the pure joy you get at releasing your inner creativity.

Honestly, when was the last time you picked up crayons or colored pencils except to help your 2-year old learn how to stay in the lines? Did you find yourself feeling drawn to the coloring book even then, despite the fact that it was Elmo that you were coloring? Why not let that inner creativity that wants to come out be released? Studies show that art helps to release stress and tension, so let it go and do something for yourself that is inexpensive yet incredibly rewarding. Not even a day at the spa or a day out with your friends can give you the exhilaration that coloring can provide.

If you claim you are not the artistic type, don’t worry because you do not have to draw. You just need to color amazing little designs in ways that you see fit. You get to choose the coloring medium and even the colors. Chances are once you start, you will not be able to stop because your heart and soul will be so glad that you are finally letting go of your pretenses.

Are you ready to jump on the trend of coloring mandalas? Get your copy of the Animal Mandala Coloring Book and unleash your inner child. You will be so glad you gave it a try!

http://ckbpublishing.com/bird-coloring-pages-for-kids-and-adults/#respondFri, 28 Aug 2015 16:58:25 +0000http://ckbpublishing.com/?p=915Coloring is a wonderful pastime. It helps to instill a feeling of peace and serenity in anyone ages 2 – 100. There is something about being able to put color to paper and making it come alive that gives everyone a sense of wellbeing and happiness. From the 2-year old scribbler to the 45-year old woman that is trying to de-stress after a long day, coloring pages that are made by you can help you achieve other great things in life.

The Meditation Value

Some might wonder just how coloring can be so calming, but if you think about the repetition that is involved in coloring, you can see how it can become melancholy for some. In the “Beautiful Birds Coloring Book”, for example, you can create illustrious pictures of many different types of birds, whether you want to use the bird coloring page to hang on the refrigerator as a reminder of the beauty you can create or as a source for other projects, such as needlepoint or paper art. The simple art of moving the crayon back and forth will help you to relax, unwind, and possibly even unleash other creative vibes, enabling you to start making other beautiful things.

The Art of Creating Things with Kids

Kids and adults love to create things, especially when it can be done together. What easier task to accomplish with one another than coloring? You can sit down for hours with your child and create beautiful images of birds and other flying animals that enable you to have something to hang up and be proud of while helping you to reminisce about the time you happily spent together. Because coloring does not require a lot of skill or forethought, you can take the time any time of day to enjoy one-on-one time with your child – there is nothing that can be better than that quality time with them.

Are you ready to spend some quality time with your kids or take some well-deserved “me time” and just unwind? Get your copy of “Beautiful Birds Coloring Book” and start making beautiful creations; you will love how you feel when you are done.

http://ckbpublishing.com/every-child-has-a-talent/#respondThu, 10 Jul 2014 14:34:49 +0000http://ckbpublishing.com/?p=886Sometimes kids grow up thinking that they do not have any special talents. This can really be difficult for children when they are faced with events, such as a school talent show, where they are put on the spot to showcase a “special” talent. Unfortunately, many kids cut themselves short, thinking that they do not have any talents to share with others. As parents, it is our job to help our children find the things that they excel at and help them learn how to use them in ways that matter. One way that you can help is by reading books with your children that show other children dealing with the difficulty of not having a talent. “Fireman Max and the Talent Show” by KP Baker, showcases Fireman Max in a way that he has never been seen before; feeling upset about not having any talents. Throughout the story Max goes on a memorable journey that helps him to realize that everyone has a talent, no matter how hidden it may be.

Discovering his Talents

Fireman Max, being the good sport that he always is, decides to sit at the talent show tryouts to support his friends, even though he is not going to try out for a spot in the show. As he watches everyone, Max starts to get a little sad about not having anything to share with his friends. To his surprise, however, his teacher shows him how to discover his talents in ways that Max would never have thought of on his own. The story continues with Max learning about the different talents that people have and how when everyone puts their unique talent together, great things can happen.

In “Fireman Max and the Talent Show” there are plenty of opportunities to stop and talk to your child about his own talents. As Fireman Max makes discoveries about himself, you can help your child make his own discoveries. You can help your child learn how each of his skills has a place in life and how they can help him and possibly even others. This children’s book by KP Baker is a great way to encourage parents to have meaningful conversations that will help children grow into well rounded adults.

Parenting is never an easy job, especially when you have a child that struggles with his self-esteem or finding his place in life. This new Fireman Max book provides a fun way to help kids boost their ego and find out what they are good at, possibly surprising themselves along the way.

http://ckbpublishing.com/overcoming-a-sugar-addiction-the-natural-way/#respondSun, 25 May 2014 13:10:06 +0000http://ckbpublishing.com/?p=867Do you suffer from a sugar addiction?

http://ckbpublishing.com/helping-children-discover-their-passions/#respondSun, 30 Mar 2014 13:29:28 +0000http://ckbpublishing.com/?p=845When a child does not have any dreams or passions in life, it can be embarrassing for them. Not knowing what course they want to take in life can cause them anxiety, especially when faced with the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Because dreams do not come natural to every child, sometimes parents have to get involved. One such way that you can help is by reading books about children in the same predicament, such as “When I Grow Up: Pam Follows her Dreams” by KP Baker. In this book, Pam is faced with the question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” It is an answer that Pam does not know how to answer. Pam takes us on her journey as she overcomes her embarrassment and resolves to solve her problem.

Exploring is Good

In order to find her path in life, Pam tried many different occupations by going with her relatives to work. Pam thought that she would definitely want to work in a doctor’s office like her mom or the accountant’s office like her dad. What Pam realizes along the way is that you cannot force your dreams or force your skills. You need to learn to use the skills that you were given and the passions that you have.

As you read “When I Grow Up: Pam Follows her Dreams,” you and your child can talk about his or her dreams together. If your child does not know what his or her passions are at the moment, you can take the time to explore various things. This children’s book can give you and your child the starting point that you need to help determine their path in life. You can help your child pursue various occupations, like Pam does in this children’s book or you can simply help your child learn by playing. There is no right or wrong way to help your child discover his or talents.

Helping your child find his or her path in life can seem overwhelming, but it can be fun. All children have skills and passions; they just need a little push to get them where they need to be to discover them. Just like Pam, your child can find his or her passion too.

http://ckbpublishing.com/not-eating-enough-fiber-could-cause-you-to-overeat/#respondSat, 15 Mar 2014 12:22:17 +0000http://ckbpublishing.com/?p=829Do you get enough fiber in your diet? Even if you think you are – chances are you are not. Most Americans consume an average of 15 grams of fiber per day, which accounts for only half of the necessary fiber for good health. Perhaps even worse, however, is the fact that not eating enough fiber can cause you to overeat the wrong foods. This means that you could be consuming unnecessary, not to mention, empty calories simply because you are choosing the wrong foods to eat. If you choose the right food, meaning those chock full of fiber, you will feel fuller longer and be less tempted to overeat or eat highly processed, sugary foods. Even if you do not want to follow a sugar detox diet, simply adding fiber to your food consumption can have the same effect.

How to Fill your Diet with Fiber

So how do you fill your diet with fiber? The first step that you should take is to remove processed food from your diet. Any food that contains enriched flour or bleached flour means that the nutrients, including fiber have been stripped and chances are sugar has been added in one form or another. Instead, opt for whole grain breads, pastas and rice. This means a few simple substitutions:

Carbohydrates are not the only way to get your fill of fiber, however. Many fruits, vegetables, legumes and nuts also contain plenty of fiber. Legumes or beans are the best choice because they contain the largest amount of fiber. The wonderful thing about beans is that you can add them to an existing food for extra bulk and a little flavor. Add beans to your soups, salads and wraps to get the fiber that you need. Other great sources of fiber include dark, leafy greens, berries, sweet potatoes, apples, carrots and cauliflower.

Ways to get More Fiber

Adding more fiber to your diet might seem overwhelming, but it will dramatically decrease the amount that you eat. If you find yourself suffering from a 3pm letdown because you are feeling tired, hungry and irritable, try adding more fiber to your diet, especially at snack time, rather than choosing sugary foods and see how you feel. It is easy to start, simply make these little changes:

• Avoid high sugar content foods and drinks by eliminating candy, cookies, processed foods, fruit juices and soda from your diet; they provide no nutrition and only empty calories

• Choose snacks that are only from the fruits, vegetables or whole grains categories, avoiding anything processed or unnatural

These few simple changes can make a dramatic difference in how you eat and how you feel. As an added bonus, you might even find that you lose a few pounds simply by adding fiber to your diet. Fiber has a way of satisfying you much longer than the empty calories that are provided in processed foods. Fiber digests very slowly, leaves your blood sugar levels stable and allows you to feel satisfied for longer periods of time. If you are unsure about starting a sugar detox diet just yet, try adding fiber to your diet to see how you feel. Once you realize how great you feel, you might be ready to jump in feet first on a sugar detox plan.
